I have heard a lot of things and the doctrine (I have indeed read it) seems fuzzy aside from 12 months time in grade. What other requirements need be met aside from the usual weapons qual and passing APFT? What does the promotion packet include/entail? And will I look decent as a candidate with a 270 APFT and BLC under my belt, or should I have more education than that (schools are hard to get in the guard.)? Any and all advice and information is appreciated.

As an update, I do have SSD1 done, and have for quite a while. I am also taking an APFT in 2 months in order to possibly obtain a slot for AASLT. Another wrench in the mix is the possibility of my unit restructuring. If I am forced to reclass, will that hurt my chances, or will that look favorable as an additional school?
